'Salaar' will cross the lifetime collection of 'Saaho'. It is now inching closer towards the Rs 550 crore mark at the global box office.
In his review for Outlook India, Prateek Sur gave 'Salaar' 3 stars and said, ''Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire’ is definitely not a film for everyone. It’s a massy actioner and not for the high-end elites. The presentation gives you the feel that it’s made for getting whistles and claps at almost every second scene. In fact, at one point, Prithviraj Sukumaran even looks into the camera and questions the audience, ‘Have you forgotten to whistle?’. It’s also for people who’re willing to invest their minds into a complex storyline, which will be left open-ended and you’ll have to watch at least another part of the film to know what’s happening and why it’s happening. Overall, being a commercial potboiler, it’s a Good One-Time Watch''.
